Made it through week 1!

Made it through! Even went to several parties/activities/BBQ's where there was nary a thing I could eat and I stayed strong. Now I'm all psyched up and in the groove. GO ME!!

Day Three

Today is the day I am struggling. I didn't have a good dinner last night, went to bed hungry, and woke up with really really really low blood sugar. I can't seem to get over it.

But I am hanging in - I didn't eat any of the delicious not-so-good-for-you stuff at the RS activity last night, and I'd really hate to cave today after being so strong yesterday.

I can do this!!!!

Healthy Comfort Food

When I'm sad, stressed, anxious, or basically having any feeling, I feel the need to eat something comforting. When my LSAT score was coming back, I told LL that I was going to need to eat a milkshake, no matter which direction it turned out.

Yesterday, when I sold my car, I told my mom that I was going to need a treat. We had milkshakes. Weirdly, milkshake seems to be my comfort treat of choice.

When my parents leave me in NYC in a few weeks, they've already planned the purchase of some Panera (yum!) and ice cream to make sure I have on hand for that moment.

So, fellow wanna-be-healthy people, what do you do for healthy comfort food? I don't think that having a milkshake is always the solution to my sorrow, but it sure does seem to help. However, with the inevitable stress that accompanies life as a 1L (first year law student), I suspect I'll have days when I want to do some comfort eating.

Thoughts? Ideas? I need some things that are easy to prepare ahead of time to just have on hand, and then maybe some slightly splurgy, but largely healthy things that will still take the edge of my stresses...

How do you stay on top of the stress without turning into a balloon person?

The front door at Cardozo is a revolving door, but I don't want to have to be rolled through it.

South Beach, Day One. Again.
